Francophone scientists in 69 of the poorest countries of the world are now able to access scientific journals in their own language. In December 2005, the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF), John Libbey Eurotext (JLE) and their partners (CIDEFA, CIRAD, INRA, IRD et Faculté des Sciences agronomiques de Gembloux) decided to join the AGORA initiative. They will provide access to Cahiers Agricultures to students and researchers in eligible countries.

AGORA provides students, researchers and academics in some of the world's poorest countries with free or low-cost access to more than 800 key journals in food, nutrition, agriculture and related biological, environmental and social sciences.
